I never had that option. Cameron was very weak when he was born and barely had the strength to eat sometimes. Plus, there was no way I could have propped him. He couldn't be in a regular car seat because of the shunt on his heart, and he to be flat any time I wasn't directly supervising him. I had to learn a special way to feed him in the NICU to not obstruct the shunt. I was not easy and I didn't have a lot of help, but I did it.

Now that he's completely tube fed, I really miss being able to hold him and feed him and have him look up into my eyes while he took a bottle. So yeah I agree with you court, it would have driven me a little crazy too. People take so much for granted.
